Thaxton Vs Ramonov

Very hard fight for Thaxton to win but he has a punchers chance. Most likely Romanov will be far too much for him to handle.

Will be a good fight for the fans though and at least Thaxton is showing he has some balls.

 

Thaxton doesn't stand a ghost of a chance IMO, but it's nice to see him get this shot.

 

I think it will be a better fight than most of the early pundits are currently calling it. It could be close and I would side on Thaxton scoring the win.

Romanov would be the obvious favorite but his Zoff performance and lack of regular fights may swing it towards the improved English mans direction.

If it does come off I will be looking forward to it very much.

 

And who do we think the loser of this one will fight????

 

Its ironic isn't it - first Khan calls out Thaxton then withdraws as his mandatory and Warren blatantly name drops Romanov after the St Clair fight but goes onto announce Kristjansen as an opponent instead.

Just makes all the talk from the Khan camp look even more ridiculous now that Thaxton v Romanov has been confirmed.

 

Spot on at least unlike the next great hope he his fighting a bloke with a punch.

 

Depends on how badly they lose :hey

 

I predict some more irony. I predict Thaxton will beat Romanov, and Khan suffers a shock loss (I have no idea how) to Kristjansen.

 

Are you hinting that the great hope's handlers have doubts about his chin :yep

 

Claypole the Clairvoyant?

If your prediction comes true that would be ironic - especially as those fights are only one day after the other ....

 

I think it s a smart move, it gives Thaxton a shot at the EBU title aswel as a high world ranking, a payday and even if he loses he will still be British champion, if he wins he comes closer to cornering a payday with Khan.

Romanov is world class and I would pick him to retain his european title on his worst night. Thaxton is a very live underdog though.

 

No me never, but a name keeps coming tome though "amir chinny Khan"

 

thaxton will lose, bye bye shot at amir.

 

A Thaxton loss to Romanov is more likely to gain him a fight with Khan than if Thaxton was to win.
